1804 AD, February 15, Goryeo Peninsula, off the coast of Incheon.

The 2nd Detachment of Armored Cruisers, Detachment 3 of the Protective Cruisers, and Detachment 1 of the Destroyers of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean Navy were firing heavily at the coast.

A gate of 203 mm naval guns, 152 mm naval guns, as well as 76 mm rapid-fire guns and 57 mm rapid-fire guns, were firing fiercely.

If the shells rained down on the coast, a violent explosion occurred.

On the sea, there were a large number of soldiers of the Eastern Imperial Army, riding in small boats and rushing towards the shore.

In order to show bravery, many Oriental soldiers even tied white cloth strips on their heads.

On a transport ship, General Kuroki Yuzhen, commander of the First Army of the Eastern Imperial Army, was observing the battle in the distance with a telescope.

Seeing the coast, which was almost shrouded in gunsmoke and firelight, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency Commander, the fire of our fleet is so fierce that if the Russians dare to resist, they will definitely be blown to pieces. The Russian navy has fled. Their army probably won't have much will to fight. We won this battle!" said Major General Hisanao Oshima, chief of staff of the First Army.

Kuroki nodded for General Zhen: "The Russians are the weakest among the Western powers. They fight wars, and there is no other way to fight than to rely on the number of people. However, this is also the advantage of the Russians. But if the Russians thought that such a trick would also defeat the empire, it would be delusional. The warriors of the Imperial Army are not afraid of death, and their combat literacy is ten times stronger than that of the Russians. In this battle, we will definitely be able to defeat the Russians and achieve the rise of the empire!"

Kuroki is the general of Zhen, and he is undoubtedly full of confidence in the next battle.

He commanded the First Army, although it consisted of only three infantry divisions. However, the Russian Empire's army deployed in the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula also consisted of only three infantry divisions.

However, in terms of strength, an infantry division of the Tsarist Imperial Army was 10,000 fewer than an infantry division of the Eastern Imperial Army.

In addition, the Eastern Imperial Army was able to receive fire support from the Navy. Therefore, they undoubtedly have an absolute advantage in battle.

Therefore, their odds of winning this battle are very large.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" replied Major General Hisanao Oshima.

"Order the Guards Division and the 2nd Infantry Division to speed up. Before sunset today, we are going to take Incheon. Then, advance towards Seoul. Take Seoul in the shortest possible time!" ordered General Kuroki for Jung.

"Hey, Your Excellency, Commander!" Major General Oshima immediately went to convey the order.

The Guards Division of the Imperial Army of the East and the 2nd Infantry Division, supported by strong artillery fire from the Navy, launched an attack on Incheon.

A large number of Oriental soldiers launched landing operations in small boats.

However, the Imperial Russian Army seemed to realize that it was undoubtedly very dangerous to fight the Oriental people on the seashore without sea control. Therefore, the 186th Regiment of the 62nd Infantry Division of the Tsarist Imperial Army, which was stationed in Incheon, did not resist here. Instead, according to the order of the division headquarters, after blowing up the port of Incheon, they evacuated here and returned to Seoul to strengthen the defenses of Seoul.

At present, the Imperial Russian Army only had the 62nd Infantry Division stationed in Seoul. The rest of the 63rd Infantry Division was at Pingyu. The 64th Corps was deployed along the Green River.

However , after the start of the battle , the 62nd Infantry Division had already appealed to the headquarters of the Army Group for help.

Next, the 63rd Infantry Division and the 64th Corps Division will reinforce the 62nd Infantry Division. At the same time, the troops stationed in the northeastern region of the Qing Empire, as well as Vladivostok and the Primorsky region of the Far East, will also quickly move south and enter the battle.

Because the Russian Imperial Army did not resist, the Guards Division and the 2nd Infantry Division of the Eastern Imperial Army were hardly hindered and successfully landed at Incheon.

However, the troops of the Russian Empire, when retreating, blew up the port.

This greatly interfered with the landing operations of the Eastern Imperial Army. Especially the loading and unloading of artillery is very troublesome.

Kuroki, commander of the First Army of the Toyo Army, and Major General Hisanao Oshima, chief of staff, arrived at Incheon by boat.

Seeing that a large number of soldiers were landing, and a large number of artillery was being loaded and unloaded with difficulty, General Kuroki Weizhen couldn't help but frown.

"Inform the sappers and immediately find a way to build a simple dock. Otherwise, the subsequent weapons, ammunition and other materials will be greatly affected!" ordered General Kuroki Weizhen. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" replied Major General Hisanao Oshima.

On the orders of General Kuroki Yuizhen, the Guards Engineer Wing and the 2nd Infantry Engineer Wing quickly began to build improvised piers for subsequent troops and weapons to disembark.

The rest of the infantry, after regrouping at Incheon, began to approach Seoul.

On February 16, the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Toyo Army set out for Seoul.

Of these, the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade attacked Bucheon, while the 3rd Infantry Brigade attacked Kwang.

The artillery of both divisions has not yet landed. Therefore, they can only launch an attack on their own. However, both the brigade commanders of the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Infantry Brigade thought they could easily take Bucheon and Kwangmyeong and advance the front to Seoul in one fell swoop. Even, all the way to the Han River.

Garrisoned in Bucheon was the 186th Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Russian Army. And stationed in the light is the 185th Infantry Regiment.

These two places are already more than ten kilometers away from the coastline. Already almost outside the range of the battleship's main guns. Therefore, the 62nd Infantry Division of the Tsarist Imperial Army is determined to fight the Oriental people here, and also let the Oriental people see the power of the Tsarist Imperial Army, so that they can stop being so arrogant.

Of course, each infantry regiment of the Imperial Russian Army was only more than 3,800 people. The strength was only equivalent to an infantry wing of the Imperial Eastern Army.

An infantry brigade of the Orientals had more than 8,000 people.

In terms of strength, the Eastern Imperial Army had a huge advantage.

In the afternoon of the same day, the battle began.

The 1st Guards Infantry Wing and the 2nd Guards Infantry Wing under the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade of the Eastern Imperial Army attacked Bucheon from the south and east respectively.

The 4th Infantry Wing and the 29th Infantry Wing under the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Toyo Army launched an attack on Guangguang.

For a time, the first meeting between the armies of the two sides officially began six.
